Metallica Weren't Into Mission To Lars Movie

07/03/2012
. (Classic Rock) The film-maker behind documentary movie Mission to Lars says most members of Metallica weren't interested in the project but she's still a fan of the band.

The film tells the story of severe learning disability sufferer, Tom Spicer, who wants to meet thrash drummer Lars Ulrich. It charts the efforts of his brother Will and sister Kate as they try to make the meeting happen, and learn much more about their sibling and his Fragile X syndrome as they go.

And while drummer Ulrich has voiced his support for the work, Kate Spicer says the rest of the band didn't want to know. "There's no two ways about it. James Hetfield and the other guys were not into our project, no way," She tells Geeks of Doom. "It's funny � nobody's really asked me about that. They were quite� they weren't into it at all. You could tell it was Lars' thing. But I feel that's kind of their thing � they've just got their own things going on."
